[mythtv-users] Can't get storage priorities correctly.

[Ram Ramesh]

I have two storage directories of vastly different sizes (1 TB SSD and 
10+TB spinning RAID1).  I had them both in default group and balancing 
algorithm as "combined" with default setting. I thought that myth is 
smart and will figure out and favor SSD over spinning disk when 
possible. That did not work. So, I changed the algorithm to "Balanced 
free percent" and was hoping it will keep about the same % of free space 
in both disks. I noticed today that SSD has about 13% (96G)  use (87% 
(660G) free) and spinning disks have about 94% (12T) use (6% (770G) 
free).  This means next recording should go to SSD. However, it is now 
writing to my spinning disks. What did I do wrong?

Distribution: Debian bookworm (Linux 6.1.10)
Myth: 31+fixes from debian-multimedia 
(31.0+fixes20201214.gite9b795a1e4-dmo0~bpo10+1 as per apt)

I only changed the storage priorities yesterday and the new recording is 
the first one after that. Do I need to wait or reboot after changing 
storage balancing algorithm before it takes effect?

Regards
Ramesh
